This Memorial Book was written by former residents of Czestochowa, Poland. Some who left the town before the war wrote articles and essays about the rich Jewish life in town: the people, the dreamers, the doers, the ultra-religious, the secular, the Zionists, the socialists…The various institutions in town, the charities and the help societies for the needy. This book contains many first-hand accounts and personal remembrances of the survivors and emigrees from these towns and serves at a fitting memorial to these destroyed Jewish communities and in addition bears witness to their destruction. For the researchers, this book contains a wealth of both genealogical and cultural information that can provide us with a picture of the environment our ancestors left when they left the town. Consider this book as a Purim gift to a special relative.
